The cost of JavaScript

As we build sites more heavily reliant on JavaScript, we sometimes pay for what we send down in ways that we can’t always easily see. In this post, I’ll cover why a little discipline can help if you’d like your site to load & be interactive quickly on mobile devices.
All that pixie dust is free, isn't it?

Network capabilities and device capabilities don’t always match up. A user with an amazing Fiber connection doesn’t necessarily have the best CPU to parse and evaluate JavaScript sent to their device. This is also true in reverse..a terrible network connection, but a blazing fast CPU. — Kristofer Baxter, LinkedIn
Too often, I find myself in the evening with my laptop connected to my TV, watching a video and think, who's winning the game? I open a new tab and type ESPN and all of a sudden every thing stops. It doesn't matter which browser I use, it seems several times a week this happens and it always seems to happen on the same sites; CTRL + ALT + DEL + End Task. And Yahoo is the worst!

I've had this happens many time even with CP. It turned out to be the ad blocker I was using. I guess the parent websites and ads are to closely linked causing the browser to "crash". I wonder if this is an attempt to get people to stop using ad blockers.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others. Same thing when you are stupid.
